HUSH — COMMUNITY GUIDELINES

DRAFT v0.1 — "the rules of the room"

Hush works because everyone here agreed to the same deal. The deal:

CONSENT RULES EVERYTHING

· Nothing unsolicited — ever. Intimate media flows only after you BOTH opt in, and mutual-reveal applies. "They matched with me" is not consent.

· No means the conversation is over. Pressure after a no is harassment.

· What someone shares with you is for you, once. Screenshots are blocked or detected and flagged; trying is a strike, succeeding and sharing is a permanent ban and possibly a crime (most states criminalize non-consensual sharing of intimate images).

BE THE PERSON YOU VERIFIED AS

· Your photos are you. Your age is your age (we verified it — don't test us on the rest).

· One account, one human. No sharing, no "posting for a friend."

NOTHING COMMERCIAL — ZERO TOLERANCE

· No selling content or meets, no promoting paid pages, no payment handles. First confirmed instance is a permanent ban of your verified identity. This is the one rule with no strikes and no appeals ladder.

STRIKES AND BANS

· Minor violations: warning → feature restriction → ban.

· Serious violations (commercial activity, non-consensual content, minors, threats): immediate permanent ban, and reports to authorities where the law requires. Bans stick — they attach to your verified identity, not your phone number.

· Appeals: appeals@hushdate.app. A human reads every appeal.

REPORTING

· Report anything, from any screen — even after it burns. Reporting quietly preserves a safety copy for our team; the other person is never told who reported.

MEETING UP

· Meet in public first. Tell a friend where you're going. You never owe anyone a meeting, an explanation, or a second message.

The short version: be real, be decent, take no for an answer, and never try to keep what wasn't given to you to keep.
